Casamood travel guide is fond of old Medinas. Its
true that the Medina of Casablanca has very little charm compared
with the magical alleys of the Fes Medina or even with the shopping
experience of Marrakech, nonetheless, for the occasional tourist or
locals in search of fake Ralph Lauren T shirts, fake Ray-ban
sunglasses or fake Louis Vuitton belts it has proven to be a
consistent choice. People is friendly and security is high, and if
you happen to be hungry and your wallet is not big enough to take you
into the gorgeous Hyatt just round the corner don't worry, because
Snack Oujda is the popular-chic you're looking for. With about 15
tables all next to each other you will be rubbing shoulders with
locals that will care very little about you, the place looks dirty
but food is extremely fresh, on the menu: prawns, squid, hake, sole
and the best of them all, swordfish. All of them deep fried and
served with a homemade spicy tomato sauce, forget ketchup, this is
the real thing. You can compose your own dish and the price stays the
same: 40 dirhams, with bread and water included (even if its probably
a good idea to order some regular Sidi Ali water unless you survived
3 years in Afghanistan). My own advice is to stick with the squid
rings and the swordfish, well worth coming back.
